half-century. The opening general session featured “The Next 50 Years of Offshore Developments," in which nine executives provided perspective on ensuring businesses are more resilient to face future challenges and adapting to an increasingly digital
landscape.

“This year has been unparalleled in terms of showcasing the new technology that is driving our industry, both in efficiency and innovative solutions,” Beydoun said. “OTC continues to evolve in response to our changing world,
this year including fourteen sessions dedicated to offshore renewables, which just further reinforces that this is not only the largest but the most impactful energy conference in the world.”
